I don't think I've used one since sometime in high school, and I never
used one at the same time I was trying to listen to music. I think
maybe at some point, my mom used one on me in the den where the TV was,
but if the TV was on, the volume wasn't turned up for *my* benefit.
(Might have been turned up a bit for someone else's benefit.)

I think the last time I used a blow dryer, it had something to do with
having used mousse to get my hair to stay in place. I only used that on
special occasions, though. Now I use hairspray for the purpose, and
that at most 4 times a year.

Briana doesn't seem to mind at the groomer's, and we don't bother with
that here. :)
